I have attached some images of the GM/Hurst OE option shifter as well as the aftermarket Hurst shifter. Hope this clears up some of the confusion between both shifters. Also the installation PDF for the Hurst aftermarket shifter is available, just CLICK HERE

With all the banter back and forth I am still unsure about whether or not the factor shift knob can be used on the 40% reduction aftermarket Hurst shifter. Can anyone verify this? From the picks it doesn't look like it is possible given the shifter is a screw handle and the factory knob seems to be a press on?

Thanks gents...

If you look at the bottom pic in post #252 above, you will see that in the package there is a chrome "hurst" rod and in the upper right hand corner of the pkg there is a black round rod. That black rod is for the factory knob.

mtcwby is correct. The Hurst aftermarket shifter comes with 2 sticks. It includes a chrome stick with 3/8"-16 threads and a black slotted stick for the factory knob. Both will allow you to retain the factory shift boot.

Not on any post that i put down by a guy that called hurst and was tolled that, But there was only 5 guys that were at the install of my unit.

I average 250,000 before i get a new car, last year i sold my 1996 impala SS with 245,000 MI on it and the guy that got the car work for us and drives it all the time, My dog car has 214,000 on it its a 2004 GMC Denali XL.

Here's something a little bit different, I think it looks great and is another option for those who do not want to run the white classic knob. I recently had a customer send me a couple of pics of his self installed Hurst shifter. It is shown with an optional black billet Hurst knob.

I would like to apoligize ahead of time if any of my posts bother you, I am quite a large smartass and very expressive of my opinion!I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum!Ordered Feb. 13 2009: 2SS/RS/M6/Sunroof/ Rally Yellow built 8/7 Vin# 33534, Delivered 8/26/09!

i recieved mine from nick yesterday;installed it last night,but it was storming pretty bad,so i did'nt get to try it out in the real world till this afternoon. i love it,it's definitly different & will take some getting used to. my only advice is that if you like the "cushy" feel of the stock shifter; you probably won't like this shifter. i personnally like the way it makes you feel more connected to the car. just my .02, and no i did'nt take pics. sorry
